  • Never Repeat Yourself Again: Tips to Help Kids Listen Every Time

    Never Repeat Yourself Again: Tips to Help Kids Listen Every Time
    May 1 2024
    Dr Cathryn is tackling a topic that might seem simple but is actually a big deal for little ones: understanding time. Hear about Marcus, a 3.5-year-old who loves the swings but struggles when it's time to leave. Why? Because his mom is giving a warning like this: “We’re leaving in 5 minutes.” Kids can't see or touch time, so they don't understand it like adults do. But as they grow, they start to get it through routines and daily patterns. Today’s Tips: 1. Use Sequences: Tell your child, "First park, then lunch, then playdate." It helps them understand the order of events. 2. Visual Timers: These show how much time is left in a way kids can see. 3. Sand Timers: A simple tool that helps kids see time passing. 4. OK WAKE UP Clocks: Helps your child know when it's okay to get out of bed by showing a green light. 5. Bonus Tip: Use calendars or a bead necklace to countdown to special days.

  • Toddler Sleep Troubles: What to Do When Advice Doesn't Work

    Toddler Sleep Troubles: What to Do When Advice Doesn't Work
    Apr 17 2024
    Dr. Cathryn takes a deep dive into what happens when standard parenting advice doesn't seem to cut it. Despite trying expert strategies, some problems persist, and today, we're focusing on sleep issues that remain challenging despite parents' best efforts. We'll explore real-life struggles parents face when routines don't pan out as planned, and discuss tailored approaches that might work better. In this episode: 1. The Easy-Does-It Method Fails: A parent shares the struggle of bedtime battles with their 3-year-old, from hitting to hair-pulling. Dr. Cathryn discusses the possibility of overtiredness, the importance of understanding behavior triggers, and strategies for teaching kids to express their frustrations constructively. 2. Endless Bedtime with Mia: Four-year-old Mia can't seem to settle down at bedtime, constantly asking for "one more story." We'll talk about adjusting bedtimes, acknowledging feelings while maintaining boundaries, and practical tips for helping Mia feel connected and calm at bedtime. 3. Nighttime Fears: A parent is concerned about their 3.5-year-old's recent bedtime fears. Based on effective research findings, Dr. Cathryn introduces a comforting strategy involving a stuffed animal to help the child manage fears and build empathy. Dr. Cathryn wraps up by reminding listeners that while generic advice can be helpful, personalized adjustments are key to meeting your child's unique needs. Remember, you're the expert on your child. Thank you for tuning in, and keep nurturing those little ones with love and understanding. Send Us Your Stories and Questions: We love hearing from you! Share your own experiences or questions.
